The truth is that contract law is a bit more complicated than people generally think. Getting your contract drafted by a solicitor will give you the peace of mind that the contract really does what you want. The best contracts get put in the drawer and never looked at again. They were good contracts though, because the parties understood exactly what they were getting. Without the misunderstandings, no disputes arose and the contract was never needed again.
